=====Synthesis===== | |||
Synthesized in the liver. Will also include details about folding, posttranslational modification and chaperone proteins, if any. | |||
=====Actin Binding Interactions===== | =====Actin Binding Interactions===== | ||
Vitamin D binding protein is also capable of interacting with actin at the domains shown in <scene name='48/483884/Dbp_actin_binding_site/1'>red</scene>. | Vitamin D binding protein is also capable of interacting with actin at the domains shown in <scene name='48/483884/Dbp_actin_binding_site/1'>red</scene>. This function occurs mainly in the bloodstream, as DBP binds to globular actin present in the plasma. It presents an important mechanism for clearing actin from necrotic or apoptotic tissue (Meier et all 2006) | ||
